Is a Blue Kitchen Right for Me?
Take a look at some of the photos of blue kitchens we have designed and installed over the years, and discover how you can create the perfect blue kitchen for your home.
Blue exudes confidence and relaxation, reminiscent of a warm blue sea at the seaside or the vibrant blue sky on a hot summer day. When we see the colour blue, we're immediately reminded of a warm, homely feeling. It's no surprise that we want to incorporate this colour into our homes. And what better way to do so than by designing a beautiful blue kitchen? After all, the kitchen is the heart of the home.
Some of the most common questions people have about blue kitchens are:
Will a Blue Kitchen go out of style?
The short answer is no. When it comes to the question of whether blue kitchens can be a timeless choice for your home, the answer is a resounding affirmation of their versatility and enduring appeal. The thing with blue kitchens is that they possess an innate ability to harmonize beautifully with a wide range of design elements and colour schemes. Whether you find yourself leaning towards a rich, vibrant royal blue that gives a sense of luxury and sophistication, a muted navy that offers a more subdued and classic aesthetic, or even a soft, cool-toned blue that brings a refreshing and airy feel to the space, you can be assured that incorporating blue into your kitchen will create a stunning and inviting atmosphere.
What colours pair well with a Blue Kitchen?
If you're looking for a two toned or even three toned kitchen than look no further.
As we've established blue kitchens go well with everything. The only rule is matching the undertones.
If you prefer a cool, soft-toned blue like our Coastal Mist, choose cool-toned greys and whites. They'll complement each other flawlessly, creating a cohesive kitchen ambiance.
If you're considering a more sophisticated navy blue for your kitchen, consider incorporating gold or brass elements to introduce warmth and elegance, achieving a timeless style.
If you're open to bending the rules, why not opt for a variety of blue shades?
Choose one dominant colour and several complementary tones to design the perfect blue kitchen. Incorporating blue LED lighting around plinths or dropped ceilings can produce a modern, eye-catching effect on the kitchen's design. Alternatively, you can make a statement with a blue glass splashback.
What are some flooring options for a Blue Kitchen?
The Flooring plays a huge part in creating the perfect kitchen design, and what you choose will change the overall style and feeling of the kitchen.
A lot of our customers tend to go towards a warm multi toned parquet (Herringbone) flooring. This warms up the room creating a contrasting yet traditional style.
While opting for a grey or beige tile gives a much more clean, modern and stylish choice.
Check out our kitchen below with a cool toned LVT stone effect flooring.

What colour hardware should I choose for a Blue Kitchen?
Handless Design
Why not opt for a handless design, having the doors continue seamlessly across the entire kitchen. Opting for a handless design in your kitchen creates a seamless and modern aesthetic throughout the entire space. Not only does it enhance the visual appeal of the kitchen but also promotes a sense of continuity that is often sought after in contemporary designs. The row of uninterrupted lines creates the appearance of a larger kitchen and is perfect for minimalistic designs.
Hardware Finishes
Brass, Copper and Gold hardware is perfect for complimenting those warm and rich tones of blue.
Chrome and Gunmetal compliments cooler blue hues.
Black offers a stark contrast between the dark black handles and light blue kitchen cabinets.
What colour worktop should I choose for a Blue kitchen?
We love pairing a Blue Kitchen with a timeless slab of quartz to further enhance the sophistication and beauty of the kitchen.
However pairing with a rich warm Oak or deep Walnut wooden worktop creates a homely and farmhouse style that is irreplaceable.
If you're looking for more affordable and durable worktop options, you can choose from a high pressure laminate which is available in different colours and finishes to suit your kitchen design or why not choose an acrylic worktop like Minerva or Corian, which can be finished without any visible joins in the worktop to create a seamless appearance.
Scavolini Blue Moon with White Quartz worktop
Of course creams and whites pair well with Blue kitchens, If you're planning on a dark navy blue kitchen like our Blue Moon (As seen below) a stark white worktop creates a bold and striking pairing.
Masterclass Coastal Mist with Carrara Quartz worktop
If you're looking for a softer blue like one of our most popular colours Coastal Mist (As seen below), a white marble quartz worktop creates a bright and open kitchen design that's inviting and spacious.
Scavolini Teal green with Laminate Oak worktop
A wooden worktop really brings it home with the warmth of the wood and rustic style.
Below we have our Teal green kitchen with our high pressure laminate worktop in Land Oak together creating a warm and playful kitchen design.
